I like chewing aspirin.....I get why I like the flavour of oxycodone, why aspirin?

I like the feel of check plate (preferably aluminium)

I like sticking my head in a W bin

I like hand lighting 4" mortars for the full body compression

I like hanging from the top of a 30 metre transmission tower in the rain.


Show me some weird!

i like weird and wonderful music such as this gem from the golden age of novelty-


"Ain't We Crazy" was recorded in 1928 by Harry McClintock, aka "Haywire Mac" or "Radio Mac". A few other performers did it too, but Harry is the likely author. In his time Harry was a railroad man in the U.S. and in Africa, a seaman, a mule-train packer in the Philippines, and an aide to a news crew covering the Boxer Rebellion in China.
Harry was a Wobbly, a member of the Industrial Workers of the World, and organized in the oil fields of West Texas. He is best remembered as a radio performer and the songs he sang of labor, hobos and working people: "Joe Hill", "Preacher and the Slave", "The Great American Bum", "Big Rock Candy Mountian" and others.

Lyrics
Now, I know a little ditty, it's as crazy as can be
The guy who wrote it said he wanted it, and handed it to me
I found I couldn't use it, because it sounded blue
And that's the very reason why I'm handing it to you
It's a song the alligators sing, while coming through the rye
As they serenade the elephants, up in the trees so high
The iceman hums this ditty, as he shovels in the coal
And the monkeys join the chorus, up around the northern pole
Ain't we crazy, ain't we crazy
This is the way we pass the time away
Ain't we crazy, ain't we crazy
We're going to sing this song all night today
It was midnight on the ocean, not a streetcar was in sight
And the sun was shining brightly, for it rained all day that night
'Twas a summer night in winter, and the rain was snowing fast
And a barefoot boy with shoes on stood a-sitting in the grass
It was evening, and the rising sun was setting in the west
The little fishes in the trees were huddled in their nests
The rain was pouring down and the moon was shining bright
And everything that you could see was hidden out of sight
While the organ peeled potatoes, lard was rendered by the choir
The sexton rung the dishrag, someone set the church on fire
"Holy smoke!" The preacher shouted, in the rain he lost his hair
Now his head resembles heaven, for there is no parting there
The cows were making cowslips, and the bells were ringing wet
And the bumblebees were making bums, and smoking cigarettes
And a man slept in a stable, and came out a little hoarse
So he hopped upon his golf sticks, and drove all around the course
Ain't we crazy, ain't we crazy . . .
It was midnight on the ocean, not a horsecar was in sight
As I stepped into the drugstore, to get myself a light
The man behind the counter, was a woman old and gray
Who used to peddle shoestrings, on the road to Mandalay.
"Good evening, sir," the woman said, and her eyes were bright with tears
As she put her head beneath her feet, and stood that way for years
Her children, six, were orphans, except one tiny tot
Who lived in a house across the street above a vacant lot
Ain't we crazy . . .

I like the music y'all are playing. One weird thing I like is that I like to analyze commercials. My favorite are PSA's, but they call them PIFs in the UK. I like the funny ones, but my favorite are the creepier the better. I'm partial to radio PSAs but those aren't as common to see on YouTube unfortunately.

Germany and everything to do with that wonderful land. This song can be about any country.

I like chewing on aspirin, too. Baby aspirin more so. Would've taken more if it weren't for sensitive stomach.


I like DIYing my notebooks. Or anything if I can help it.

I like the sensation of wearing contact lenses.
If it weren't so expensive and my current lifestyle, I'd wear cosmetic lens over my glasses even.

And cannot get enough with sniffling chamomile tea bags.

Running my fingers on things as I walk. Don't see many other people doing this so I guess it is just me?

Pea green snails. I rescue them every chance I get.

Walking in the rain.

Folk songs that double as Christmas songs. Greensleeves, anyone?

I like sleeping with the light on.
I like cloudy days.
I like early music and the buzzy early woodwind instruments in them (like the aulos, crumhorn, shawm, racket)
I like some orchestral Muzak. Yes, I mean like elevator music. lol. Like this. I blame The Sims Hot Date.

Love decorating my walls with maps. Never thought it odd until folks ask "why are you so into shipwrecks?" because I have a map showing all the shipwrecks in the last four centuries in the Chesapeake bay and another of the same on North Carolina's outer banks. Hey...isnt everyone eager to know where Spanish treasure galleons, Confederate blockade runners, and Nazi U boats, are now hotels for the fishes? Guess not. Lol!

Like Cockney is obsessed with the Kinks...I still love the early Sixties music of Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. Loved it when it was current when I was a child in the early to mid sixties. Still love it. Not the weirdest thing to be into in the world, but not exactly current top 40.


AND I coulda seen Herb Alpert live a few weeks ago at the Strathmore down the road from where I live!! !! But I pussyfooted around until I learned he was sold out! The dude is probably older than Trump, Sanders, and Biden put together but he still performs with his legendary horn. But he cant go on forever. Just SHOOOT me!
